School
Reach Communication System
Return To Top Of Page
St.
Theresa Catholic School now uses the School Reach Parent
Notification
System. This system enables us transmit automated messages to
all of our parents in an extremely quick manner. The School Reach
Instant Parent
Contact enables us to send messages as reminders for meetings,
programs,
school events, etc. It also enables us to send a message to each
parent in the event that school is closed, or will soon close in the
event of inclement weather.
It is extremely important that each and every parent provide the
school with
correct and up-to-date phone contact information in order for this
system to
work in the manner in which it is intended to. Please advise us of
any changes
in phone contact information as soon these changes occur! |
